This is a very interesting idea. After the cost of stamps, paper, ink, etc., are you making ~1 dollar per letter sent? What inspired you to build the site?
I built the site because the only way to get what you want is by voicing that you want it. It's especially important presently due to an increasing disconnect between Congress and citizens. Our system of government functions best with a politically active population. Otherwise the will of the people is impossible to express and the laws become the will of the few.
I've mailed several letters to lawmakers and it's a tedious process, but ultimately necessary as letters actually stand out, while email blends into the noise. Removing the encumbrance of mailing the letter enables participation in government, something I believe in very strongly.
I run https://rrandomize.com (it ships random items to you). It's currently earning about $150 a month or so. Most of the money comes in through one-time payments, since I pocket the change after purchasing an item for the user. The idea is simple, so it didn't take much work coding at all. I'm still pretty new to web development so this was a chance to practice execution and security.

That's awesome, I was about to ask if it was inspired by the xkcd before reading your about page. How many people currently have the "adventurer" or "conquistador" plan? Can you provide examples of items you've bought in the past? Actually, you should probably put that info on your homepage.

It comes out to less than $1/letter. I built the site because the only way to get what you want is by voicing that you want it.

Have you thought about extending this to say city councils or mayor's office also.
There are tons of local small problems, which can be sorted out by city offices, only if they are pointed out in a positive manner, but people do not do so.
